| Abstract | The development of a space-focused Technology Business Incubator (TBI) represents a strategic response to the need for space innovation and commercialization within the Philippine space sector, driven by the rapid growth of the global space economy in the next decade. This study begins with getting inspiration from two of the most successful space TBI programs globally, the European Space Agency (ESA) Business Incubation and the UK Space Agency (UKSA) Accelerator programs. Their varying incubation strategies and startup support activities, such as mentoring programs, access to funding, provision of incentives, and networking activities, can effectively accelerate the growth of space-related enterprises across the region. To apply in the local setting, a review of the local startup ecosystem and macro assessment of the political, economic, social, technological, environmental, and legal (PESTEL) factors was conducted. Insights from these analyses informed the Logical Framework (Log Frame), which defines the strategic goals, outcomes, outputs, and activities for the space startup TBI program. A cause-and-effect analysis underpins the log frame, ensuring interventions address the root problem and lead to impactful results. The program features tailored mentoring and capacity-building activities, supported by space science and technology applications (SSTA) and industry experts, to help academic researchers, technology entrepreneurs, professionals, and startups scale up. Successful implementation requires strong organizational teams, infrastructure, and collaboration among key stakeholders—such as the Department of Science and Technology (DOST), Department of Information and Communications Technology (DICT), Department of Trade and Industry (DTI), universities, industry associations, and venture capitalists—for funding, mentoring, market access, and investments. Initial participants could include university researchers and students with existing space R&D |
